I've been using Baquacil without any problems for the past 27 years, but during that time I only had a 25,000 gallon pool. Now I have a 650,000 pool, and I don't want to pay the cost of Baquacil for that pool.
I'm looking for an alternative, system that will be cost effective, and not expose me to chlorinated water (I'm not going to debate the point or give you a reason why I don't want to use chlorine. I don't, end of story). However, I would consider a system that chlorinates between 12 am and 6 am but leaves no measurable residual chlorine.
Also I'm not concern about person to person infection, there is no one who will be in my pool, who isn't in my bathtub with me or doesn't exchange bodily fluids with me. So it doesn't matter to me if pathogens are killed in .0003 seconds or 30 minutes.
What are the options out there?
On a side note, the pool has not been maintained so there is tons of black algea. If I do decide to stick with Baquacil how do I get rid of it first?
